If the machine moves forwards or backwards, contact a qualified service technician. 5.8.1 Lubricate the hinge points 5.8.2 Procedure: lubrication via grease nipples Add grease through the grease nipples (see following sections) until grease comes out of the bearing.
Maintenance 5.8.4 Grease nipples TE versions Grease nipple Grease nipple (only with vertical locking pin) Check/top up the engine oil level Open the engine compartment. See section Remove the engine oil dipstick (A) from the holder, clean the engine oil dipstick and replace it.
Maintenance Wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 2 and 3 to check if the oil level is correct. Replace the engine oil cap. Close and lock the engine compartment. 5.10 Check/top up the coolant fluid level Safety Warning: Make sure the engine has cooled down sufficiently before carrying out this procedure.
Maintenance 5.11 Check and top up the hydraulic fluid level Before you begin Condition: the temperature of the hydraulic fluid must be approximately 20° C. Procedure Check the liquid level in the sight glass (A). The fluid level must be as far as the bottom red mark (B).
Maintenance Remove the cover. Open the engine compartment. See section Remove the cover from the air filter. Press the locking tab (A) upwards. Unscrew the cover (B) counterclockwise. Replace the filter. Remove the old air filter (B). Remove the old fine filter (C). Fit the new filters.
